Tull was such a great band. In concert the pretty much sounded like their studio work. Classic band whose music will live forever

I only saw them live 3 times in my teenage years & Ian wore the same outfit all 3 appearances. They also played Locomotive Breath (long version) each concert. Glad you enjoyed it so much. I clicked immediately when I saw Jethro Tull Locomotive Breath. Thanks

@stephenspero3201 5 лет назад

starburstppl same here! You should have seen the look on my parents face when I finally got them to put in my Aqualung 8 track after traveling hours listening to very different music. Needless to say "snot is running down his nose " was enough of a shocking lyric let alone the homeless older man with pedo tendencies! I was 12 yo!! Hell I just loved the way it sounded and knew the words but not the understanding! Saw JT in KCMO during the Tullavision Tour 1973! Robin trower and Tod Rungrund opened up . Tull was 35 minutes late and played 2 hrs past their scheduled time to make up for their tardiness!! What a memorable event truly epic as the little dude that I was. My second concert! Unforgettable.....

@starburstppl 5 лет назад

@@stephenspero3201, yep I knew the lyrics, but not the meaning. I too just loved the way it sounded. I here you about the parent's reaction. My parent's jaw hit the floor many times when I would listen to Black Sabbath's music. I was about 12 when I started listening to them. Alice Cooper's stuff would freak them out also. I loved Cooper's album, Killer. I never saw Jethro Tull live which I regret, but I saw Robin Trower in 1975 when I was 16. Golden Earring opened for them. The very first concert I went to was Black Oak Arkansas in 1973. I loved the 70's and 80's! I wish I could go back to that fun time!

@stephenspero3201 5 лет назад

starburstppl I miss those times too my brother! What a great time to be around musically. Now it's just auto tuned, overdubbed, multi looped, cacophony of crap that is presented as a Broadway production disguised as music! I can't take it. What happened to 3-4 guys /gals who could go out there and jam a very tight groove? Rush? , Yes? Any of those bands you dig? I could continue a listing of truly timeless and epic bands till my brain fell out! I was blessed being the youngest of 7 siblings and I had access to all of their albums. My first album purchase was Rush 2112. Hell I had access to everything leading up to that but my siblings didn't have it. How about 'Ten years after a space in time '? Keep rocking it!

@stephenspero3201 5 лет назад

starburstppl you ever get the parental quote "you call that music! " argh! Or " turn that shit down!!!" I know I'm getting old when I find myself thinking the same thing about some rap, pop and death metal. Although I dig the guitar riffs in death metal. ..yeah I play a little guitar and a couple of other instruments. I'm glad you got to see Robin Trower. I was 12 floating on a raft in our pool the first time I heard bridge of Sighs. Probably a little stoned. Little did I know a month later I would see them in concert. Truly the good ole days my friend.

Saw Tull in 1971 my senior year in High school, I was 18 you had to go by dress codes in those days, started growing my hair out, me and my friends would tuck our hair on inside of collor and try not get caught by principal. Anyhow, saw Jethro Tull at the Forum in Englewood, CA, can't remember for sure, (because I was super stoned!!) but I think the band playing with them was Heart. But "Tull" was just really great!!!!!

@davidbarker77 4 года назад

I saw them at Lulus in Kitchener in the early 90s. At the time you could still smoke in bars but this was radically a non-smoking event. Ian thanked the audience and explained that he had to take ten breaths for every one we took. When you hear him play, you understand. Thanks KnR.

@fromagefrizzbizz9377 4 года назад

There's listening to that song on an album, and then there's living it. I had the fortune to see Locomotive Breath performed in 1972 or thereabouts in Niagara Falls as the opening piece. You could hear a pin drop during the piano intro, the whole stadium began to move almost silently as the tension built because everybody knew what was coming, then it hit like an avalanche and ate you whole. An incredible moment that I will never forget.

@robertacolarette1594 4 года назад

Thanks for doing this. Boy does this take me back. I remember getting the Aqualung album for the first time. I knew I was going to hear something so new and cool. Love that you appreciate it. It really doesn’t get old. It grabs you every time.

@vernhoke7730 5 лет назад

This song was my introduction to Tull in the early '70s. I had made the switch from AM to FM as I was heading to Jr. High and our local station WNEW 102.7 FM out of New York used to play this, and most of this album, on a regular rotation. Ah, the Seventies!!! :)

@philipershler420 4 года назад

The amazing thing is Ian Anderson taught himself to play the flute. Initially he wasn’t even fingering it correctly. Some how some way, he started playing with the correct fingering. However, he seldom, if ever used the pinky from his left hand. It turns out that the pinky finger on his left hand was somewhat deformed and made it hard for him to use it. In addition, rather than curling the fingers of his left hand, he most often kept them straight. So rather than fingering he was for all intents and purposes, he hammered those keys. But with all that, he continues to make amazing sound with his flute.

Kel, you need to chill, girl, it's just a dude in tights wearing a codpiece lol. On a more serious note, just want to mention that whilst Ian got almost all the coverage the guitarist in Tull is probably the most underrated in music. If you ask a guitarist just how good Martin Barre is they will rave about him but the general public never realised just how good he is, sadly.

Ian Anderson is also a cat rescue person. He spends thousands of dollars on animal causes. I saw Jethro Tull perform in the late 90s and he stopped the show because someone was smoking in the first rows. Once they ceased, he resumed. He is a complete non-smoker and does not tolerate second hand smoke. Good show! I've enjoyed Tull since I was an 18 year old in 1970.

Saw Tull for the first time around 69 at The Baltimore Civic Center. MIND BLOWING! Frontman Ian Anderson and his bandmates were classically trained musicians who could play Bach, Rock, or Traditional English Folk Music, and blend them together. Anderson has been called both a madman and musical genius! He came bouncing on stage dressed in tights and a waist coat and took over the crowd. Up until then, no one ever saw a flutist dominate a show. The guitars on either side both wore 3-piece suits with fedoras in old Chicago gangster style. Out of Blackpool on the west coast of England they were a sharp contrast to the pop, and blues bands dominating the charts. Yes, classical musicians can ROCK!

I saw The Martin Barre Band (original and longtime lead guitarist for Jethro Tull) this past June. They were doing the 50th Anniversary of Jethro Tull Tour. In addition to players from his touring band he also had, as a very special guest, the original drummer, Clive Bunker. Clive played on all the song of the first set up to the album Thick As A Brick, which he was not a part of. At the end of the first set, before a short intermission, they played an acoustic bluegrass version of Locomotive Breath. Believe it or not, it was amazing..it really worked. For the purists they again played Locomotive Breath, as part of the encore, in all it's electric guitar chugging glory.

@JFairweather 4 года назад

Tull began to change direction by the album Thick as a Brick and by the time of their Passion Play album (supported on tour by advanced projected video content) they had moved far enough away from their roots that they lost much of their original core audience of hard rockers. They returned to the charts with Bungle in the Jungle, but fade out after that.
